I really can't believe that Mike The Miz from WWE can act that good; throughout the entire movie his expressions were really awesome and he acted just like another great professional. The movie was so unpredictable I saw on the edge of my seat, and all the time I watched the movie it was totally worth it never expected WWE to make such a great movie. In fact, every Marine related movie is really awesome. This movie was really action packed, blockbusting and damn it was fun watching it. Come on people you must purchase this movie because its awesome, I ain't no official of WWE or something its just that Mike the Miz has really impressed me to that state that I am writing my third-ever review for a movie on IMDb. The soundtrack for this movie is dynamic, the last song is just so awesome you would want to download it and listen to it over and over again. The Miz had a really great role in the movie, he really has showed that he can play lead roles really well and I have seen several John Cena movies but this just shows that Miz is better in the field of acting.
It didn't take me long into watching "The Marine: Homefront" when I said, "I've seen this before." In fact, I repeated that phrase in my head A LOT during the entire ninety minutes this movie took. Clearly the story and various plot elements aren't very original. And there are plenty of plot stupidities, like the fact the bad guys often can't hear gunfire taking place just a short distance away, or that their number are being slowly eliminated. Actually, the unoriginality and the stupidity of the script didn't concern me that much - I can take such stuff in a movie like this as long as there is good and plentiful action. But this movie doesn't have any of that. In the first half of the movie, there is perhaps a minute's worth of action in total! While the second half of the movie has a lot more action, it isn't that well done. It's generic shooting and punch-ups, filmed without any skill to make it rise above routine. There's nothing much of interest in this movie, and the best praise I can give it is that it was shot in the Canadian province I live in (British Columbia) and gave some work to my fellow citizens in front of and behind the camera.
After watching the movie I'm actually very surprised at how much I liked it. In some scenes it's quite obvious that it's a low-budget-production with a simple script but that does not make it a bad movie at all. The actors were very solid and IMO Mike "Miz" Mizanin did a heck of a job in his acting debut. As shown in the extras, he clearly did his homework preparing for his part as a combat-proved Marine. But not the action-scenes really caught my attention but his actual acting-skills e.g. when arguing with his family where he showed genuine, credible emotion. The action-scenes were cool but I would have liked a couple more of them. :) So go on, buy the movie but do not expect it to be Oscar-worthy or something ... just enjoy!
Not too fond of the opening narration. It sets the tone that I have to like the movie because it's about supporting the troops, but is it? Or is it just exploiting them like every movie seems to these days. It's like if I put some marine in my movie or something about a soldier it gets a higher score, automatically.
But you know what? Once that John Cougar Mellencamp- type song came on after the open narration, I knew then what type of homeland American movie I was getting into and just needed to accept that.

I'm a fan of the Miz. I've never seen him wrestle, and more familiar with him as Mike from the Real World but I think its cool that someone from the show became big enough to star in his own movie.
But I think they are not sure about his star power as there is a big cast of characters doing a lot of things in the movie, making his part smaller.
Decent gun play makes for some cool actions sequences.
Neal McDonough also made a nice villain. He was sympathetic and unwavering in his cause. It's a pretty bad ass villain.
I actually saw the Marine 4 before I saw this one and as far as The Marine saga starring the Miz, number four is better than number three. Nothing beats the first one starring John Cena, but Marine three was just developing something for the Marine 4.

this movie wasn't best as Marine John Cena and Ted DiBiase, Jr. Marine 2 the franchise should have just followed With John Cena In First Marine in big budget franchise but sometimes i hated franchise's going to Blu Ray and DVD. Film Directer,Actor,Writer Scott Wiper who did a WWE Wrestler's in Action movies The Condemned (2007)Steve Austin witch i liked. Marine 3 had good action scenes and good fights R.I.P(Darren Shahlavi)Cazel did had good fight scene with Miz but not the best scene i have scene i wish there could be more scenes with him but he is only 1 hour of film.
Story Follows that(Michael Gregory "Mike" Mizanin)Jake Carter who come United States Marine Returns Home To Bridgeton Jake had to sisters (Ashley Bell)Liz and (Camille Sullivan)Amanda having fun after that Liz and her boyfriend been kidnapped from radical militia group Villain wasn't great expect for Robert Patrick from Marine 2006 was good villain like Always but this Villain sucked who starred alongside former WWE superstar DWAYNE "THE ROCK" JOHNSON as yet another villain in (WALKING TALL). Using every bit of his military training (Neal McDonough) Jonah Pope just lame villain who got Jake Sister as hostage. Jake Carter goes there to save day but the Action Scenes were good Jake taking out bad guys killing them it was fun then with Darren Shahlavi fighting with Miz scene didn't go long But I have seen better. In fact I have expected a much better movies in the beginning Jake had Combat skills this is not best Marine franchise 1 and 2 were great but this eh there some scenes are unrealistic low budget film camera looked eh normal not the best i have seen what can i expect from WWE Studios witch i always like buy depending what movies they make Marine 3 is has same story like previous Films it didn't had interesting story 6.10 some of action scenes were not much executing for me i wish it did a lot better film to it i had no problems with Miz Wrestler but i wanted to have John Cena Back on Franchise
